Of course, Hollins can't ask every player to be as good as Ding Mo'an, after all, like Ding Mo'an, who is new to the league, can show good strength, and Maddie, Sean. Battier and Artest are super geniuses who can play without being weak, and there are few in the history of the league.

And on the court, when the Grizzlies attacked, Artest and Sean. Battier teamed up to contain Ding Moan, and even swarmed up the defense regardless of whether Ding Mo was without the ball or with the ball. It is not surprising that the Rockets sent such a luxurious defensive lineup to defend Ding Moan, a rookie. You must know that although Ding Mo'an is just a rookie, today's game is only his official debut in the NBA, but Ding Mo'an's performance in the first half is not at all like a rookie, and he looks like a superstar who has been famous in the league for a long time.

So it's not surprising that Adelman defends Ding Mo'an with such a high-profile lineup. But Grizzlies fans in Memphis were angry, especially when they saw Adelman and the Rockets, in order to deal with a rookie, they used the same posture as the league's superstars, and they were angry with the Rockets.

Of course, Grizzlies fans don't care about the damage that Ding Moan caused to the Rockets in the first half. In the eyes of the fans, you can bully my Memphis son, but if you want to bully my Memphis son, there is no door! However, the Grizzlies fans are not at odds, and Ding Mo'an doesn't know for the time being, because as the game continues in the third quarter, the Rockets' targeted defense has finally worked.

Even the superstars in the league face Artest, Sean. Batil and the others will inevitably be disgraced. Under the entanglement of these two, Ding Mo'an couldn't find a chance to score at all. And his first scoring point was entangled by two defenders. Conley also tried several times in a row to pass the ball to Kevin, who had a good hand in the first half. Lefou.

Want to be in Kevin. Lefouou. However, the Rockets' starting power forward, Luis . Scola is far more difficult and goblin than Hayes. Kevin. Under his defense, Lefou's ball was repeatedly cut and even given to Luis in the end. Scola had two steals to allow the Rockets to play a fast-break counterattack.

At this moment, it also announced that the Grizzlies' outer and inner core all fell under the defense of the Rockets. At the same time, the Rockets also launched an offensive after forming an impregnable defensive net. Maddie also tried to break through Ding Moan, intending to regain the face lost in the first half. So when attacking, he naturally found Ding Mo'an.

Ding Mo'an, who was too aggrieved offensively, also greeted him. The confrontation between the two immediately became the most watched scene on the field. If the game didn't start, many people might have doubts about whether Ding Mo'an could play in the NBA. But after half the game, no one will question it anymore.

Because Ding Mo'an's performance is enough to prove his future-

This is a future superstar!

Compared with Yao Ming and other compatriots who came out of the domestic system and were finally selected by the NBA, although Ding Mo'an has experienced a period of dark days in China, he can come to the United States to play in the NCAA in advance, and the benefits of entering the NBA are self-evident. Adapted to American-style basketball in advance, exposed to a better basketball atmosphere, and also made himself famous in the United States and paved the way for himself to enter the NBA.

And it also has the support and fan base of hundreds of thousands or even a city person, and the starting point is much higher than those predecessors. As long as Ding Mo'an continues to maintain his performance, then the goal of becoming a superstar is feasible. At the same time, Ding Mo'an took a step across, released the right side, and forced Maddie to break through, while he was also surrounding from the side, half of his body and the pair of long arms, as if covering Maddy with a net.

Ding Mo'an's death entanglement, no one can crack it intact, and so is Maddie. But Maddie's experience still allowed him to stubbornly look for opportunities to get rid of Ding Moan's defense. And Yao Ming looked at the two people who were entangled together, and immediately ran to the high position and made a block for Maddie.

The quality of Yao Ming's blocking and dismantling is perfect. One is that he has a prominent height advantage, and the other is that in recent years, Yao Ming has never stopped gaining weight, tonnage and height are destined to make it difficult for Ding Mo'an to prevent Maddie from holding the ball after a teammate blocks and dismantles it.

At this time, the Grizzlies inside line was because Yao Ming made a mess of blocking and demolition for Maddie. Mark. Gasol & Kevin. Love is two little fat inside, although after the summer league, preseason and a lot of training, but the slow speed of the two is inevitable. After all, the speed on the defensive end is not a forward rush, but a test of lateral movement.

Fat people make sideways movements, which are much slower than running in a straight line. Therefore, Maddy was very easy with the ball, and he crossed over Mark, who was a change of defense with Ding Mo'an. Gasol. And Mark. Gasol's weakness of slow speed when changing guards is also infinitely magnified, almost as soon as Maddie takes two steps past him.

However, immediately after that, Mark. Gasol saw that Ding Mo'an, who had been blocked by Yao Ming before, suddenly rushed in front of him at this time, and the target was Maddie, who jumped high at the moment and threw the basketball to the rebound lightly. Ding Mo'an, who had exerted his speed to the extreme, aimed at the basketball that reached the highest point at this time, stretched out his arms, and even if he jumped up, the whole person seemed to be flying in the sky, pressing the basketball on the rebound!

Pegboard hat!

Perfect for defense!

The sudden arrival of the big hat made Maddie stunned. However, among the players on the Rockets, Artest is not surprised. Especially when Maddy carried the ball down to the basket, he had a premonition that something was wrong. For Ding Moan's defense, Artest knows most about Death Entanglement and the big hat that will come to your head at any time.

At the same time, Ding Mo'an hatted Maddie, and his footsteps did not stop at all, winning the ball and rushing to the front court of the Rockets. Since Ding Mo'an's capping is too fast, even Sean. Battier and Artest were also stunned, and then when Ding Mo'an flew out like a bullet, the two remembered their heavy responsibility.

However, maybe Ding Mo'an is helpless about how to break the defense of the two now, but this does not mean that Ding Mo'an can't crush the two in speed, so Ding Mo'an, who can be called invincible in speed, just accelerated, instantly threw off all the chasing soldiers behind him, and scored a goal by relying on the defensive counterattack.

At the same time, the head coach on the sidelines, Hollins, was very happy in his heart. Kevin. Love & Mark. Gasol's two little fat men on the inside, when changing the guard, the problem of slow speed, he had already noticed it. But there is currently no cure for this problem, unless the two are forced to lose weight and increase the speed of traverse.

But losing weight is a big risk for rookie players, especially interior players. Nowadays, Kevin. Lefou, Mark. The reason why Gasol was able to not suffer in physical confrontation was the tonnage of muscle and fat sandwiched together. Without this tonnage, you can guarantee Kevin. Lefou, Mark. Will Gasol be able to maintain the intensity of his previous physical confrontation in the next game, when he is stuck and attacking the inside?

So Hollins still needs time to observe. And the weight loss has to be tested at least after a season of competition, before the most suitable tonnage for the two can be measured. Otherwise, rash weight loss will be harmful and useless. Again, this also means that the Grizzlies have been completely incapable of resisting the opponent's fast guards and forwards attacking the basket with the help of pick-and-roll throughout the season.

But Ding Mo'an gave him a surprise at this time, a surprise on the defensive end. Rushing from behind, Maddie's ability to help defend at the end of the pegboard hat gave Hollins a treasure. Ding Mo'an's ability to assist in defense is completely a shield that the Grizzlies need at present, a shield to prevent the inside line from being beaten into a sieve.

And Hollins, who gained Ding Mo'an's strong defensive ability and slightly more solutions to the loopholes after the team's interior blocking and dismantling, couldn't laugh next. Because of the game in the last half of the third quarter, the Rockets put on a posture to open the score, and the ball was handed over to the Yao Mai combination.

Yao Ming plays the inside line naturally a dozen and one accurate, Mark. Gasol didn't even have the slightest power to fight back against the little giant. With Yao Ming's height and experience, he is simply beating Mark in all directions. Gasol is a talented but inexperienced young rookie. And Maddy and Ding Mo'an were in the opposite position, although they failed to achieve a big advantage, but his dry pull-up jump shot after dribbling also made Ding Mo'an nerve-wracking.

Therefore, when the Yao Mai combination stretched the score to 18 points, the third quarter of the game ended. At the same time, when the players of both teams came off the court, the score hanging on the big screen was very dazzling, and of course, for the Rockets players and fans, this score was already a sign that they were about to win the first game of the season.

But this score is undoubtedly a stab in the heart of all Grizzlies players. After working hard for most of the game, there was still one quarter to go, and the game was about to end. But the score is close to 20 points, especially when the core physical strength of the Rockets inside and outside is still sufficient, the Grizzlies' chances of winning are slim.

And Su Qun, who was in the CCTV5 live broadcast room, also said regretfully: "In the third quarter of the game, the rocket's offensive was too strong. Of course, the reason for this situation is also that the Grizzly Bear's interior line can't restrain Da Yao. However, Ding Mo'an's performance was really beyond my expectations, in the opposite position with Maddie, although he still let Maddy score, Ding Mo'an also capped Maddy a goal in attack and defense, which is the most shining defensive clip. ”

"So which team do you think will win this game?" Yu Jia, as the host, asked.

"Maybe the Rockets have a better chance of winning." Su Qun took out a technical statistic and pointed: "In the third quarter of the game, all the Grizzlies' internal and external scoring points were locked, and the point difference also came to 18 points, such a big point difference, unless someone in the Grizzlies team can stand up and save the team." ”

As Su Qun said, the Grizzlies' current situation can only score first, otherwise they will completely fall under the offensive of the Rockets. And head coach Hollins also had a headache when he looked at the Grizzlies players who were gloomy in front of him at this time, and the morale was obviously affected by such a large point difference.

"It's not over yet! We still have a chance! When everyone was down, Ding Mo'an's voice reached everyone's ears, "If we don't want our efforts to be in vain, and don't want the victory that originally belonged to us to be in the hands of others, then in the next game, we will play tougher!" More ferocious! ”

"We're grizzly bears! It's a beast! It's not a doll for people to knead and play with! Show them our blood! Ding Mo'an's voice became louder and louder, and his words were deafening, causing the sluggish Grizzlies player to slowly raise his lowered head.

After Ding Mo'an motivated his teammates, head coach Hollins nodded with satisfaction, compared to the head coach to deliver chicken soup to the players, the team leaders, who belong to their own people who belong to the same camp as the players, are much more effective than the head coach. Coach Hollins also has no intention of giving up on this game. This season, the Grizzlies have to stand up and lose even if they lose, and there is absolutely no chance of surrender.

It's a belief that must be erected to rebuild a team, just as an army needs a military spirit. Otherwise, if a team does not have the belief to pursue victory, then even if it is pushed down and rebuilt hundreds of times, the team will still be a fish belly.

Then Hollins also laid out the Grizzlies' tactics for the next quarter, but he set his sights on Ding Moan: "Ding, in the last quarter of the game, I need your mid-range shooting and breakouts. You don't have to worry about the two pieces of gum behind you, if you can't get rid of it, you can try to force the jump and force the shot! ”

"As for the breakthrough, you can come by yourself or break through the ball, in short, the whole team in the fourth quarter takes you as the offensive core, and you are the first offensive choice."

After determining the main point of attack for the next quarter, Hollins also made other personnel arrangements. And this time, Hollins is the one who put Mike. Conley replaces and brings on Kyle. Lowry. Similarly, Hollins also explained: "Kyle, your task in the next quarter is to give the ball to Ding, and then wait outside the three-point line for Ding's breakaway, and if Ding points the ball, shoot him in!" ”

However, then one of Hollins' substitutions was the most bizarre: "Milicic, you come on in place of Batum." ”

The substitution caused a wave of surprise. You know, since Mark. Gasol, Kevin. Lefou, Darrell. After Arthur and other young and talented players were added to the team, Milicic, the original starting center last season, immediately disappeared.

Except for the pre-season run-in of new and old players, Milicic, who performed well and showed Hollins a delicate hand, gave up on himself when he was deployed as a center forward in the substitute lineup. It was as if he were in a piston, dyeing his hair and putting his ears on his ears, and exiling himself.

This also made Hollins a little distrustful of him, but replacing him for Batum at this time was really Hollins a dead horse as a live horse doctor. In the third quarter of the game, Batum almost sleepwalked, did not help the team in the slightest, and even missed open three-pointers one after another when no one was marked. Nowadays, the Grizzlies' weakness at the small forward position is in Rudy. After Guy left, it was even more apparent.
